Even though this is a time when busy parents are tired and maybe even a little bit cranky, these three tips for getting your kids to sleep faster will help the whole family can rest easy at bedtime.

3 Easy Bedtime Strategies

Give Them a Nice Warm Bath: It’s a proven fact that a nice warm to moderately hot bath relaxes the body and calms the mind. This works for children too. After a long day of school, playing and homework a nice warm bath is the perfect way to transition the kids int bedtime mode. In my house it’s the first of my three part routine that let’s them know bedtime is approaching and routine is is the key to regular success.

Put Them On Notice: I like to start giving notices at about thirty minutes before bedtime. Just call it out across the house or go find them and tell them personally. Either way be sure that they acknowledge the notice. Then give another one at twenty minutes, then at ten minutes let them know it’s time to start the ritual of bedtime. Send them off to the bathroom to handle any urges and brush their teeth. Then it’s right to bed.

Read To Them: Getting them into bed and getting them to go to sleep are two totally different things. Once in bed, that’s when the real battles can start. Reading to them before bedtime is a time tested method to relax them and send them off with sweet dreams. What you read and how you read are crucial for success.

Good advice. It’s been awhile since my daughter was that little. Now I have a 10 month old grandbaby and am waiting for mommy to let her spend her first night at grandma’s house so we can do the night time rituals.

it seems as the kids get older their bedtime routines are getting more drawn out. we read to them and snuggle. and they do have the best stories to tell when it’s time for them to go to sleep lol ( charityk)
